What is a charrette?
A charrette is a collaborative set of workshops for stakeholders and community members to come together to discuss ideas and develop solutions for a project.
Why are we having a charrette in Noyo Harbor?
We need your help to create a plan for the harbor that supports economic activity, improves safety, and organizes tourist flow for daily operations, community members, and visitors. This two-day collaborative event will focus on making it easier to get to and move around Noyo Harbor. We’ll share a summary of past community feedback, highlight potential improvements, and explore ways to enhance visitor flow throughout Noyo Harbor. Your input will be vital as we prioritize recommendations to guide the Harbor’s development into the future while maintaining the culture and character of the area.
Why should you participate in the charrette?
We’re inviting you to help shape Noyo Harbor’s future! Whether you are a community member, business owner, stakeholder, or visitor, stop by for interactive group discussions and planning sessions. We will be diving into the proposed changes for transportation in and around the Harbor, giving you the chance to directly influence the final Plan.

Project Goals
Multimodal
Multimodal transportation is the movement of people and goods on roadways, including walking, biking, buses, trains, cars, and trucks. Do you have difficulty getting to the harbor by walking or biking? This plan will look at ways to improve access to the harbor.
Reduce Traffic
Can you get into the harbor without dealing with traffic? Traffic or congestion occurs when cars slow down and crowd a road. This can make it hard to enjoy a space, such as the harbor, but this plan will identify solutions to those potential problems.
Increase Safety
The harbor area is focused on access for vehicles without leaving much concern for people walking and biking. Safety is important for those who walk, bike, and drive. This plan seeks to find safety solutions!
Why Invest in Transportation?
Accessibility
Accessibility refers to people’s ability to reach desired services and activities, which is the goal of most transport activity. Are you able to access the harbor by walking, biking, or bus? Your response to this plan will determine what improvements are included in the future of the harbor.
Local Economy
The Blue Economy is about sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods and jobs, and a healthy marine ecosystem. Sustainability means preserving what currently exists for future generations to enjoy.
Promote Healthy Habits
Active transportation can increase physical activity while reducing health issues. Walking and biking boosts the immune system, builds stronger bones and muscles, improves quality of sleep, relieves stress and anxiety, boosts mood, increases energy, improves physical fitness, and mobility and improves air quality.
